Such an obnoxious display of Roger. He is simply showing off his fan power. I wouldn’t do it if Andy were to ask the audience to be really frank. Though we have a long way to go but I hope Andy will never pull this kind of stunt.

Roger Federer admitted at The Championships on Sunday that he is “ready for the challenge” of potentially needing to beat Rafael Nadal, Andy Murray and Novak Djokovic if he is to retain his Wimbledon title.

“I like tough draws,” said Federer, the seven-time champion. “I don't shy away from them. There's no control over it. All you can control as a tennis player is who you play and who you face. I have a very difficult draw with Rafa being in my quarter.

“My focus is on the first round [against Victor Hanescu]. If you want to win the tournament here, you have to beat the best. That's what I'm here for. I'm very happy to be back, no doubt about it. It's always a privilege.”
